Opportunity Matters – IDRA 2012 Annual Report
Forty years ago, in 1973, IDRA was founded by Dr. José Angel Cárdenas, in San Antonio. It was on the West Side of this city that Hispanic families and community members took to the streets and to the courts – even to the U.S. Supreme Court – to demand an equitable public education for their children. That struggle, for educational equity and excellence for every student, was the driving force behind our founding. And it is the thread that is woven across everything that we do today and will do tomorrow.
IDRA’s latest annual report tells stories of our work through three strategies:
Compelling Facts ~ Making the Case for Excellent, Equitable Education
- Children’s Educational and Civil Rights
- Next Generation of Texas OurSchool Data Portal
- Longitudinal Data that Keep Dropout Issues on Front Burner
